What is DioCleaner?

DioCleaner is a dangerous rogue anti-spyware parasite that can damage a victim’s computer beyond any usability. The main infection methods of this threat are malicious trojans and web browser security exploits that DioCleaner uses to infiltrate target systems.

The first thing DioCleaner does after installation is hijacking desktop and replacing it with a message that your computer has been infected by spyware. Then, multiple pop-up windows with the same message start to harass the user, trying to scare him/her into clicking them. Once clicked upon, the pop-ups redirect the user to the DioCleaner website, which offers a free security scan to determine if your system has been infected. The scan will show fake and exaggerated results and offer the user to buy the full DioCleaner version.

In the case of DioCleaner infection, DO NOT click any pop-up messages and try to install reputable anti-spyware software in order to remove the malicious parasite.

DioCleaner is classified as Rogue Anti-Spyware. After infecting a user’s system, it proceeds to scare its victim into buying the “product” by displaying fake security messages, stating that your computer is infected with spyware and only DioCleaner can help you to remove it after you download the trial version. As soon as the victim downloads DioCleaner trial version, it pretends to scan your computer and shows a grossly exaggerated amount of non-existent errors. Then, DioCleaner offers to buy the full version to fix these false errors. If the user agrees, DioCleaner does not only fix the errors, but it also takes the user’s money and may even install additional spyware into the victim’s computer.

Some Rogue Anti-Spyware, such as DioCleaner, may offer users to buy it after the victim clicks on a banner or a pop-up while surfing the internet. Usually, a Trojan is installed to a victim’s computer after clicking on the advertisement. It then proceeds to download or even install DioCleaner, which is another way for Rogue Anti-Spyware to spread itself.

Most of rogue Anti-Spyware, such as DioCleaner, is nearly impossible to remove manually.


How to tell if your PC has been infected by a Rogue Anti-Spyware such as DioCleaner?

Numerous undesirable and annoying pop-ups: A typical Rogue Anti-Spyware parasite keeps track of your internet browsing habits, sending your browsing history data to remote servers, owned by third party companies that use this information to advertise their products via numerous pop-ups, toolbars, hijacked homepages and spam letters. All these undesirable advertising methods are used on the victims of Rogue Anti-Spyware.
Changed or new icons: Sometimes, Rogue Anti-Spyware installs unwanted software to a victim’s PC without user’s knowledge and consent. This may lead to slower PC performance and stability, as well as more unwanted programs you can't remove.
